Join acclaimed pianist Joe Alterman for an unforgettable evening of music, stories, and discovery. This isn’t just a concert—it’s a celebration of the profound Jewish contributions that have helped shape the soundtracks of our lives. Through live performance and storytelling, Alterman shines a light on the creativity, resilience, and cultural impact of Jewish artists, songwriters, and entrepreneurs.
From Irving Berlin to Louis Armstrong, from the golden age of Tin Pan Alley to the Brill Building and beyond, you’ll hear how Jewish songwriters and African American performers worked together to create the very foundation of American popular music. You’ll uncover the surprising role Jewish entrepreneurs played in building the modern music business. And you’ll see why Bob Dylan could be called the “Lenny Bruce of music.”
With insights that surprise, stories that inspire, and music that moves, this is a must-see event for music lovers, history buffs, and anyone curious about the deep connections between culture and sound.
